handling models in laravel 5 like in codeigniter

I'm new on laravel.

I have functions on my model php. I want to use them in controller and send    to view.

This is my example function.

public function select()
{
    $users = DB::table('user')->get();
}

now I need to use this on controller and view.

In codeigniter I handle it like this:

$data['content'] = $this->model->select();        
$this->load->view('admin/users', $data);

in codeigniter we first load model then we call its one of its method and then we pass processed data to view . what is counter part of this in laravel 5
