We quantize the Abelian Chern-Simons theory coupled to a nonrelativistic matter field on a torus without invoking the flux quantization. Through a series of canonical transformations which is equivalent to solving the Gauss constraint, we obtain an effective Hamiltonian density with a periodic matter field. We also obtain the many-anyon Schroedinger equation with periodic Aharonov-Bohm potentials and analyze the periodic property of the wave function. Some comments are given on the different features of our approach from the previous ones.
